The New Slavery

The topic was to be overworking. The subtitle: "The Modern Cult of Overworking. How it started, how it's killing you, and how to stop it."

Pretty catchy, huh? Only thing wrong with this picture being, that I have
never gotten around to writing that book.

Because I've been too busy.

Yes folks, 1995. Since then the topic of overwork has been explored in
several books. "The Overworked American" and "Time Bind" come to mind.
The title of my book was to be "The New Slavery."

Let me be clear on this: I am in no way comparing overworking in the business
world to the experiences of African Americans on plantations. Yet I am using
deliberately provocative language. Slavery has other connotations, and in at
least the abstract sense if no other, the situation many people find themselves
in today has little better title should you be looking for one in a fit of
honesty.

I have a lot of notes and clippings. Waste not, want not. So I will
be using this section to publish occasional thoughts and assistance for the
beleaguered.
